Saving Fish from Drowning by Amy Tan. A group of friends travel through China and Burma. When one young member is mistaken as a fulfill of prophecy, they are tricked (kidnapped) into spending time in the jungles of Burma. The story is told through a spirit, a friend of the group who died just before the trip.
It has been awhile since I last read an Amy Tan book. This book was a pleasant read and amusing. The spirit friend is able to understand the intent of the people in the book so you have this interesting situation where you know exactly what is happening and why folks are acting in a certain way, but the characters in the book are rather unaware of the true intentions of others, which often results in false perceptions.
